If you accept the FACT that meteoroids impact the surface of the moon, which yes we do have real, tangible, actual evidence of, then there is no
other logical assumption than the moon cannot have a protective atmosphere. If you have proof otherwise I sure would love to see it as well as the
entire scientific community at large.
And the dropped feather, even though you created a three post report on it may not be valid either I would like to see this tested in a vacuum
chamber and see at which level of atmosphere you would first notice the feather waver due to resistance in such a short distance
It *is* valid, no matter how much you seem to wish it not to be, you can't just discount 400 years of advanced scientific theory that has been
proven. You should really read Stephen Hawking's book if you would like one of the most brilliant expert opinions on that specific experiment. I'm
sure noone here is so sure that they can even approach his level of intelligence.
You also have to remember the test on the moon was not done to prove there was no atmosphere, it was done BECAUSE there is not one, and to show that
the 400 year old law does apply. It had nothing to do with the moon and everything to do with gravity's pull, sorry there is no conspiracy there,
only real scientific experimentation.
If there had been ANY amount of air resistance, the feather could not have possibly hit the ground the same time as the hammer. No way. No how. There
is no may not be, it's very valid.
And that is not withstanding the possibility that video was faked in a vacuum chamber that was discussed in another thread here 
Geez when all other arguments fail, it's bring out this old excuse still I see. I wonder why they would spend the time and money to fake an
experiment that has been proven on Earth already and is an accepted fact of physics. It serves no purpose to do so.
Bottom line :
No burning up of meteoroids as backed up by physical evidence from the moon.
No air resistance as shown by an Apollo astronaut performing an experiment on live TV that wasn't even meant to prove there was no air resistance on
the moon.
400 years+ of science that backs up the actual evidence above.
Sorry, but one can only *reasonably and logically* conclude that there is no protective or breathable atmosphere on the moon given the facts.
Like I said earlier until people making claims on the contrary come up with some real provable theory backed up by evidence, other than overexposed
photo's ....well let's just say I wouldn't suggest running around up there with just a bathing suit
shows also some interesting things. 
just what IS up with that horizon? Almost looks like a second horizon... errr limb
